I am still unable to perform the equivalent of the following simple

EOF

These are called "here documents" and require interpretation by the
shell processing the text.  Perl can do similar things (see Page 45 or
so of the camel book).  I don't understand why you are against a
temporary file: it is a perfectly normal unix approach.   It's easier.

Several people have posted scripts that will take care of running
nsradmin and marshaling the results into data structures for you
already.  Why not use one of them?  The one I posted was on May 7,
2004, and is in the archives.
